Argyle being 'targeted'? (Mike Farnan)

[Daz]

Judging by his posts on here I think there’s a pretty good chance.

Jesus, does it matter to you whether he believes some of the things he reads in a newspaper? He probably doesn’t believe some of the other stuff he reads in it too.

Concentrate on yourself rather than pick holes in others. If people did that we’d all be in a better place.

I've always smiled at newspaper 'snobbery' not that I've read the Sun for about 30 years. :greensmile:

Is there such a thing as a good one then?

Daily Express for me.

When I use to read newspapers it was the Telegraph for the crossword and the Sun for the football.

I still buy the Telegraph on a Saturday: two prize crossword, motor section, gardening, travel, tv guide.

My Labour supporting mates tut at me but why do people believe that buying a right wing paper makes you right wing? I like to keep my 'enemies' close and I don't have to agree with something just cos I read it it, do I?? :crazy:

Well Mr Hallett ruled that out this evening.

The question wasn't put to the chairman correctly by Sparksy. He asked if there was any truth that Argyle had been approached but the story never said that any club had been approached so Simon was correct with his answer because the Daily Mail never said it had happened anyway.

The report said that Redstrike were looking at investing in football and that there are League One clubs out there who are looking for possible investors. The statement "Hull, Ipswich, Plymouth and Shrewsbury are among third-tier clubs looking for new buyers or significant investment" doesn't say that any talks have happened whatsoever with any of them.

The key bit from what he said was that he wants to hand the club onto another fan who will care for it in the future.

Cant see an ex-Man U whatever he is meeting the criteria the Halletts will set.

The online version of The Guardian for me and also the New York Times, always interesting to read how others see us. My brother apparently reads the Daily Express but his conversation seems limited to stories about Princess Diana, weather disasters and Brexit.

Actually it matters a hell of a lot what people read and believe or don't. I'm surprised you don't realise that. Are you completely unaware of the huge influence media has, particularly the Murdoch right wing press, on voting intentions and consequently the type of country we live in?! Sensationalist reporting with little substance and easy answers (in a complex world) are the way the Express, Mail, Sun and yes the Mirror, operate.

I neither buy or subscribe to any Newspaper. That's probably why I think everyone else on here is self opinionated, a bit up themselves and talk cr8p.

fft: There’s me thinking this thread was about Argyle being targeted for investment not a bleddy social study on people’s reading habits. :roll:

Listening to the Forum, I got the impression that Hallett does not want any further investment, and that the Club does not need any further investment. I haven't gone back over the forum but I think he even said that in a reply.

He accepts that he can only get us into the Championship and, maybe, remain there, and that is his aim in taking over the Club. This will be because of the income that the refurbished grandstand will generate in the future, and why he has spent his investment in that area in order for the Club to be sustainable in the future.

Therefore there is no need for further investment at this time (and this would also dilute his share of PAFC).

In my view, the only time anyone could put further investment into PAFC will be when Hallett sells the Club to someone (the right person) who he thinks will be able to take the Club further up the ladder.

I cannot see how we could go further without investing money into the Club in order to achieve further success. And I don't mean putting money into the playing staff per se, but investment into the Club in order to maintain future returns as well as the here and now.

As an example, if the limited capacity of the ground became a problem for the Club, with more people wanting to attend than there were seats, or standing capacity, then extra revenue would be required if phase two, or similar, were to be completed.

I don't think this will happen, the investment/return would not be a viable proposition, but I use this as an example only, to show that any further investment would need to be put towards making future returns rather than directly into the playing staff, which would be counter productive, in my opinion, although it would be lauded by us fans and would get us excited in the extreme, but it would do nothing for the sustainability of the Club, and would be money lost rather than well spent.

We are getting a bit ahead of ourselves at the moment, let us just sit back and enjoy the ride, as and when the investment into the grandstand made by Hallett, comes to fruition, which it surely will in the near future, when this damned Covid gets under control.
